The Tech Scholarship cohort is due to start on July 31 July 2027. That’s exactly NINE MONTHS from tomorrow.

Much appreciated. In a landscape increasingly crowded with medical paternalism, keeping one's grey matter fully engaged shouldn't be a rarity; well done for holding the line on intellectual honesty.
As an MLS I see no reason why an MLS will take the title of Doctors. Haematology Major(Specialty) not Haematologist Medical Microbiology Major(Specialty) not Medical Microbiologist HISTOPATHOLOGY Major not Histopathologist Chemical pathology Major not chemical pathologist

If you think critical care nursing is just 'administering drugs and following instructions,' you either haven't stepped foot in an ICU or you don't understand how a resuscitation team functions. Professional hierarchy doesn't replace clinical competence.

Medicine is guided by clinical indications, not financial profiling. You don't upgrade an ultrasound to an MRI just because a patient can afford it; you order what is medically necessary to make a diagnosis. Period.
As a doctor don't automatically assume that a patient will struggle to afford expensive investigations that he needs. Don't project your personal sapa on people. You will be shocked with what they're capable of.

I am proud of what we have built and are still building with BarnMD. Yesterday we started working on a Medication Formulary with a team headed by a PHARMACIST. Next week a team headed by an experienced MEDICAL DOCTOR will be working on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

You were PROMISED scholarship and a laptop in a PRIVATE tech school, but to gain this POSSIBLE not guaranteed scholarship, you need to PAY N26,000.

No English word naturally ends in the letter “V”. Have, Give, Live, Love, Move, Glove. You can’t PROVE me wrong.
Every English word with “Q” is followed by “U” Quiet,Queen,Quality,Quotes,Qualified, Prove me wrong.

When a patient collapses, no one asks if the doctor holding the bag-valve-mask went to UI, OAU, Babcock, or ABUAD: they care if the doctor knows how to save a life. Excellence in medicine is determined by clinical exposure and individual competence, not prestige battles.
JSYK An average medical student from UI or OAU is not on the same level as an average medical student from Babcock or ABUAD.

Food and Medicines should not have anything like superiority or ratings. They should all come as original regardless of the brand they are sold under.

I don’t review credentials before correcting bad medicine; I respond to the content. When unconventional or dangerous takes go unchecked, real patients pay the price. Clinical accuracy isn't about who posted it; it's about protecting the people who read it.

Bioequivalence sounds COMPLEX, but it simply means two things are biologically IDENTICAL in their action and concentration. In plain terms? They are therapeutic SYNONYMS.

You lecturing me about humour while missing the entire point is ironic. You didn't let it slide; you dove right in. Again, let’s hope your relationship has more depth than your knowledge of drug names.
😂😂 well, my babe has told me to not engage idiots like you that can’t sense basic humour and feel the need to insult with every opportunity you get so I’m going to let this slide.

Rocephin and Ceftriaxone aren't two DIFFERENT drugs; one is just the BRAND name for the other. I genuinely hope your relationship has more CLARITY than your understanding of BASIC pharmacology.
My babe is a pharmacist please. The bioequivalence of Rocephin and ceftriazone is the same. The pharmacists are right and those Hippocratic brothers don’t know anything

Clinical practice doesn’t work that way: both patients will be seen as emergencies and assessed based on their GCS on presentation and using ABCDE protocol.
A diabetic patient has severe hyperglycemia, while another has severe hypoglycemia. Who gets priority and why?

My team finally submitted their first attempt at creating an AI video. Not sure if it’s a yay or nay.

Funding IELTS in Nigeria isn’t an investment in LOCAL healthcare; it’s an EXIT grant. IELTS adds ZERO clinical value to a ward, carries NO REGULATORY WEIGHT with the NMCN, and solves none of our domestic care shortages.
Don Baba, IELTS is 300k, can we do for 10 nurses . I will select 10 nurses here, baba mi. Let's run it!!

The moment we mistake financing workforce EMIGRATION for 'systemic capacity building,' we admit we’ve given up on fixing the system from within. Sponsoring a IELTS does not buy a single piece of hospital equipment, improve bedside care, or reduce maternal mortality in Nigeria.

Superiority ratings belong in TECH and FASHION, not in what keeps us alive. When MEDICINES are judged by their BRANDS rather than originality, ACCESSIBILITY becomes a PRIVILEGE. Every life deserves the BASELINE ORIGINAL; no brands, no markups, no compromises.

When FOOD and DRUGS become BRANDING exercises, we turn basic human dignity into a luxury market. An original cure should just be a CURE.

The moment we tier MEDICINES by BRANDS, we stop treating life as sacred and start treating it as a commodity. Originality should be the default, not a premium feature.

Hunger and illness don’t care about BRAND names. Neither should FOOD and MEDICINES.
